Interskalactic were recently invited to record a cover for a very worthy cause - a KnockanStockan & Sound Training College produced charity album entitled "Growing Home" to raise funds for The Peter McVerry Trust.

Buy the album on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/album/id994958826 

The Peter McVerry Trust works to address homelessness, drug misuse and social disadvantage in Dublin's inner city. Growing Home is about reaching out and lending a helping hand to those in need. The album is a celebration of home, community, and family, with all proceeds going to the charity.

What's Goin' On (Marvin Gaye Cover)

We love the show, we love the theme tune, we love ska. 

"Welcome To Sunnyvale" is our ska-ified tribute to Julian, Ricky, Bubbles and everyone else from our favourite trailer park! 

Welcome To Sunnyvale (Trailer Park Boys Theme)

Interskalactic's own ska take on covers of some of the band's favourite hits from the last few decades..

Peter Gunn Theme - Henry Mancini

Interskalactic - Beastie Boys (Intergalactic)

An incredible song and Interskalactic favourite, originally recorded by Ann Peebles in 1973, and written by Peebles, Don Bryant, and Bernard "Bernie" Miller. Other hit versions were later recorded by Eruption, Tina Turner, and closer to home The Commitments - and now Interskalactic..

I Can't Stand The Rain - Ann Peebles

Dream - The Everly Brothers

Coffee And TV - Blur

We love a bit of soul music, so who better to cover than the King of Soul himself, Sam Cooke and one of our favourites of his "Bring It On Home"!

Recorded and mixed by Rían Trench in The Meadows Studios

Bring It On Home - Sam Cooke

Big Chief - Professor Longhair

To celebrate Outkast headlining Ireland's Electric Picnic Festival in 2014, we thought we'd add our own flavour to one of their biggest hits. It lift the virtual roof off our Body & Soul main stage gig and has been a very popular addition to the set list since!

Hey Ska - Outkast Cover (Hey Ya)

Interskalactic have firmly marked their place as a truly unique festival and party favourite in Ireland. Adding their modern big band flavour to first-wave, old-school Jamaican ska, Interskalactic have brought this infectious music that first exploded worldwide with celebrations of Jamaican independence in the ‘60s back into the live music scene of today! 

Interskalactic are no strangers to having their audience dancing for two hours straight and still calling for more! Their upbeat set features covers from classic ska artists including The Skatalites, Byron Lee & the Dragonaires and Prince Buster, combined with their ska-ified versions of popular hits from the last few decades and more recently with their own original compositions! 

Recent stellar live performances include: 
• RTÉ́’s The Late Late Show
• Electric Picnic, Body&Soul, Cork Jazz Festivals
• Opened for Madness M.A.D.H.E.A.D. Tour in Ireland’s largest indoor venues 3Arena Dublin and The Odyssey Arena Belfast
• performances in prestigious venues Vicar Street and Whelans and at countless festivals, events, parties and venues all over the country. 

With some original material due for release later this year, Interskalactic are set to stay on this trajectory throughout 2016 and beyond!
